Future Stars Align: Class of 2030+ Arrives on Campus
Carnegie Mellon University's First-Year Orientation program builds a foundation for academic success, community membership, well-being, campus involvement and pride in being a Tartan.
CMU to Lead National Study of AI in Arts Education
As artificial intelligence reshapes how art is made and taught, colleges and universities are largely determining on their own how to prepare the next generation of artists and designers. Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Fine Arts will lead a new national effort to understand those responses and give institutions the evidence they need to make informed decisions.
Carnegie Mellon Names Damion Shelton Associate VP and Executive Director of the Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship
Building on nearly a decade of growth at the Swartz Center and Carnegie Mellon's longstanding leadership in artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering, computer science and the sciences, Shelton will lead the center's next chapter.
Researchers Explore What It Means To Say AI 'Thinks'
When organizations describe artificial intelligence as “thinking,” “writing” or “learning,” those words can sound familiar. But according to Carnegie Mellon University historian Christopher Phillips, those terms may tell us as much about how humans talk about technology as they do about the technology itself.
Rare Ventures, a First-of-its-kind Platform for Accelerating Rare Disease Therapies, Launches in Pittsburgh
Carnegie Mellon University is a founding partner in a Pittsburgh-based partnership that brings together leaders in medicine, biotechnology and artificial intelligence to speed the development of treatments for rare diseases.
The CMU Data Helping Pittsburgh See Heat and Air Pollution More Clearly
As Pittsburgh faces hotter summers and persistent air quality problems from industrial polluters, Carnegie Mellon University researchers are turning environmental data into tools that residents, advocates and policymakers can use to identify risks, make smarter planning decisions, and improve the health of the city and its residents.
Rare Stellar Explosion Gives Astronomers a Front-Row Seat to a Massive Star’s Death
A rare stellar explosion has allowed astronomers to follow the death of a massive star from start to finish, yielding one of the most complete datasets ever collected for such an event. The explosion is only the second case in more than 20 years in which researchers have been able to track a massive star's demise with such clarity, offering new insights into the diverse ways these stars end their lives.
Middle School Students Explore Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics Through CMU Partnership
Middle school students from Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood got a chance to imagine themselves as future engineers, researchers and innovators at CMU's Robotics Innovation Center.
Safeguarding a CMU Tradition After Acts of Vandalism and Non-Student Paintings at the Fence
As Carnegie Mellon prepares to welcome thousands of students back to campus in the coming weeks, the university is reminding the community about the longstanding traditions and expectations governing the Fence following several recent troubling incidents.
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center To Build Supercomputer That Puts Quantum Computing to the Test
A new hybrid quantum-classical computing platform led by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center will help researchers understand what the supercomputer of the future may look like.
Children and Monkeys Share a Common Understanding of Geometry
With their ability to use tools, remember faces and even learn how to communicate with humans through sign language, non-human primates are considered to be among the smartest creatures on earth. However, some concepts — geometry, for instance — have traditionally been thought of as beyond the abilities of humanity’s closest cousins.
Carnegie Mellon Researchers Lead Three DOE Genesis Mission Awards to Advance the Future of AI-Enabled Scientific Discovery
Carnegie Mellon University, working with researchers, partners and collaborators at Department of Energy national laboratories and other universities, will lead three projects selected for funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Genesis Mission, positioning CMU at the forefront of a national effort to transform how scientific breakthroughs are made.
